Night HDR

Jubilee Column in the Stuttgarter Schlossplatz in Stuttgart, Germany

I originally went out tonight to get some shots of cool Halloween costumes but I couldn't pass on this shot. I used Photomatix Pro and Photoshop to merge and edit the shots.

4TH of July Fireworks

So this was my first time shooting fireworks with this camera and this lens.  I shot in total manual mode on Bulb and stayed around f/13 for aperture. I found that these settings worked but I still need to fine tune it for next time.

St. John's Church

We were walking by the church and I noticed that the sky had a nice tint to it and I showed my wife. I guess she saw the amusement in my eyes and told me she would see me later:) This was the first shot that I took. I have not adjusted it at all. This is exactly how the camera processed it.
